      mitted by the Committee for the use ofthe Boyal Acadian School Establishment , in which school there are nearly six hundred children of both sexes , and of various religious denominations ; of these children sixty-four are black , and several orphans . Sir John ackn owledges in the warmest manner the advantages of the co-operation of

      his Royal Highness the Duke of K ent ; and adcls , that if the Rev . Mr . Osgood should be induced to visit the province in which he presides , that he shall be happy to afford him every encouragement and protection .

      The account of this establishment at Halifax by Mr . Bromley , is inserted iii the Appendix ; it will ba read with peculiar pleasure . A gentleman of the name of Phillips , who had been very active in

      establishing a school at Antrgua , having perfected himself in the system of the Royal Free School , the Committee voted him a supply of lessons , &c . for a school in that island .

      THE dreadful conflict has begun . The French were the assailants , and having been foiled in their attempt must expect a similar irruption of the allies into their own territories . The Emperor left his capital , arid having previously prepared his forces , began the campaign by attacking the Prussians on the Sambre near

      Charkroi , drove in their posts , and took this town . Some severe fighting ensued , which compelled the Prussians ^ retreat to Wavre ; and the English m consequence , who had very bravely ^ fended their posts to Waterloo . Buonaparte advanced with . his whole array to the spot , where a dreadful battle

      was fought on the I 8 th of June , -which prided by a general charge being made ty Duke Wellington , and overthrow-^ 8 every thing befo re it ; and the ^ ench completely beaten fled in every ^ « rection . The English wearied by * exertions of the day , and this last ttort , could not pursue far , but left 2 K tO the Prussia ™> who had 1 been so busily engaged , and the ^ sequence was , that they added l pieces of cannon to the two hun-

      Also , it having been reported to the Committee that a school established at Sydney , in New South Wales , was in great danger of declining on account of a want of slates in the colony , they voted a supply of lessons , slates , arid requisites , for a school of 200 children . Having taken a survey of the proceedings of the Society in foreign parts , before your attention is directed

      to the parent Institution , the Committee beg leave to suggest a measure , which appears to them of considerable importance ; viz . that the society should associate with itself such persons residing in foreign parts , as may distinguish themselves in promoting general

      education , and whose correspondence would be beneficial to the great cause : with this view they prepared a-reso * lution , which will be submitted to your consideration , for instituting a class of honorary corresponding members . [ To be continued . ] "

      dred taken by the Duke , besides a great number of prisoners . The battles were all sanguinary , as both sides fought with great determination and exasperation ; and it is supposed that the loss of the French amounted to upwards of thirty thousand men . The loss on the side of the allies-was also

      great , but this day confirmed the opinion of the decided superiority of the English over the French , when the battle depends on pcisjnal bravery ami vigour . We are now writing in the uncertainty of the impression , that has been

      made in France by so decisive a victory . Where Buonaparte is , is finknown , nor where , nor to what amount his scattered troops are collected . The allies will leave him little breathing time , and the Duke was preparing to march from his head-quarters at Nivelles into France . The French have

      taught the world to pay little regard to fortified towns , and indeed there is force sufficient to leave ample watch upon them . We may expect , therefore , that the next battle will be fought upon French ground , and probably at
